What We Believe

OUR CORE BELIEF:

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

John 14:6 NIV

OUR PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE:

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

I Thessalonians 4:11-12 NIV

OUR MISSION:

The Ozarks Almanac strives to be a compendium of information for Ozarks residents and newcomers about life in this region, including skills in growing, preparing and storing food; using tools to build and make improvements to the home or outbuildings; enjoying homegrown music, literature and art, as well as appreciating the culture and heritage of the Ozarks; hunting, fishing, birding and enjoying the outdoors while conserving our regional resources, and serving the Lord by serving others and being good neighbors.
